How a pick earns its place

Step 1

Fit first

A desk that can’t reach your elbow height is out, however good the reviews. Height range and capacity are the first filter, not the last.

Step 2

Specs verified

Every published number is checked against the manufacturer’s own spec sheet — not the retail listing, which gets them wrong often enough to matter.

Step 3

One pick per problem

Each guide names a single best answer for a defined body and room, then shows the runner-up only where the trade-off is real.
